In his address to the crowd, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong emphasized the significance of the crypto community's political influence, stating: “More Americans own crypto than own electric vehicles or are in a union — yet some people in DC are still underestimating how much and how many people care about crypto."
"In 2024 it will become clear that being anti-crypto is bad politics. Get out and vote to make your voice heard.”

"If we ever hope to have leaders who will step up and get the job done, we need to stand up right here, right now, and elect officials who will champion common-sense regulations for the crypto industry. Alone, we are just one voice, but together, tomorrow, we are 8 million Californians loud and strong," added Nas.

Stand With Crypto is dedicated to representing America’s 52 million crypto owners, including the 8.2 million Californian adults who own crypto, advocating for leaders who will take action to create a financial system that works for all Americans. Over 300,000 people have already signed up to be advocates in this election, engaging candidates, participating in town halls, and promoting sensible regulations around crypto.
